Foredom Diamond Bur Cone Xxc 16mm L 9.5mm D 2.35mm

Description:

The Diamond bur Cone XXC 16mm l 9.5mm d 2.35mm is a highly efficient dental rotary instrument intended for substantial material removal while maintaining improved control over shaping and tactile feedback. The XXC grit classification provides very-coarse cutting strength, enabling clinicians to remove dense ceramic, zirconia, or enamel rapidly, yet with a slightly smoother operational feel than XXXC burs. This makes the bur particularly suitable for large-scale adjustments that require both power and precision. With a 16 mm cone diameter and a 9.5 mm abrasive length, the instrument offers a balanced profile ideal for modifying contours, reducing ceramic thickness, or adjusting occlusal height prior to fine finishing. Its tapered geometry facilitates access to both broad and constricted zones, making it effective for shaping axial walls, smoothing bulky ceramic forms, and correcting high spots on prosthetic surfaces. In chairside use, the bur is valuable during crown try-ins, especially when restorations require moderate-to-heavy occlusal or axial reduction. In laboratory settings, it is used during early sculpting of zirconia units, enabling technicians to establish primary contours before transitioning to finer tools. Proper cooling through water spray is critical in preventing heat-related damage to ceramic substrates and ensuring procedural safety. After initial contouring with this XXC bur, clinicians typically progress to medium-coarse and fine diamond burs to refine texture and prepare the restoration for final polishing or glazing. Its combination of durability, efficiency, and enhanced control makes it a versatile choice for demanding prosthodontic adjustments.
